Americas Gold and Silver says Galena mine resumes operations after minor electrical fire
USAS•Galena mine resumes operations after minor electrical fire
Americas Gold and Silver reported a minor electrical fire at its Galena Mine in Idaho earlier this month, traced to a short circuit in a ventilation fan.
No injuries were reported. Damage to mine infrastructure was not significant.
Operations resumed, with mining on the 4,900 Level still paused pending safety audits and ventilation repairs; higher-grade stope work shifts to early Q3.
A regional wildfire briefly blocked access to the Crescent Mine for about two days; development activities have restarted with no site damage.
Full-year 2026 production guidance was maintained despite the interruptions.
